How do you like that rubber? if I keep my 189's I will buy these same tires. I am just wondering if they are too soft a rubber and will not last that long.

I have the PSS on my stock rims. I like it so much that I bought it again for APEX ARC-8s. Plenty of thread life, not very noisy and sticks to the road like glue. I also used Hankook V12s, although it is a decent tire for the money, there is no comparison with the PSS.

Sorry, but isn't 265/30 the ideal size for the rear? I thought in most situations we wanted a 35 profile in the front and 30 in the rear.

Depends on the tread width. 265/30ZR18 would have worked for me, but PSS aren't made in that size, so in order to stick with the correct overall tire+wheel height, I had to go with 255/35ZR18 for the rears. 225/40ZR18 kept the fronts the same overall height as well.

I doubt the slight difference in diameter between the 255 and 265 would effect the speedo that much! Nice wheels BTW.

It would throw it off by a little over 1 mph faster, which means the odometer would count up faster. Over time, that adds up. That was enough for me to decide to go with the 255. It's just a personal thing, hehehe...

Thanks for the compliment on the wheels.

Cheers!

Are the 265's not a slightly larger diameter? if so your speedo would read less.
